Linlithgow Peel

The loch was formed from a block of ice left behind by retreating glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. It is one of only two remaining natural lowland lochs in the Lothians.

You can now enjoy the Peel for recreation or take a walk along the loch to see the abundant wildlife living in the loch and shore.

The walk around the loch is about 4km or 2.3 miles long and takes about an hour.
If you wish to have a longer stroll around the loch and Linlithgow, have a look at this walk, which will take about 4 hours.

The peel’s remarkable natural heritage is legally protected by conservation orders
that recognise the importance of Linlithgow Loch’s wildfowl and rare aquatic plants.

The Historic Scotland Rangers deliver a variety of activities throughout the year.
